Well, that's depressing.  I'm using SDL in a cross-platform
GL game partly for its general universality, now I wonder whether
I chose the right API.  Thankfully (?) source won't generally
be distributed so difficulty-to-compile doesn't matter much,
but how difficult do people generally find it to be to run
precompiled SDL apps?

Do Loki static-link all of their SDL-based binaries?
